A Card OF Thanks.
EDITOR DAILY Historian:

EDITOR DAILY AsToRIAN:
I desire, on behalf of all those in
terested, to take this means OF tend
ing our heartfelt thanks to all those
kind neighbors and friends who as
sisted in preventing the terrible fire
of last evening from reaching my
fathers dwelling house. And espe-
cially do we feel grateful and under
lasting obligations to the gallant fire.
men from Astoria, whose timely ar
rival and assistance directed by their
live and energetic chief, Worsley,
saved our property from destruction.
When one sees such work as was
done by those brave men last evening,
especially after long and toilsome
haul OF their fire apparatus for the
distance of mile and a half, it must
forever open up in his heart a warm
place for every man bearing the name
of fireman. Words of thanks in such
a case seem a mere nothing.
That these noble fellows may re-
ceive the reward that they have
earned and SO richly deserve is the
fervent wish of their friends,
WM. b. ADAIR,
For John Adair and family.

TOwAGE AND PILOTAGE.
Different Arrangement on the Colu.bis Bar.

The pilot schooner e. q. White
went to sea yesterday afternoon, and
thus begins a different system oi
pilotage and towage on the Columbis
river bar.
AS matters now stand there are
two pilot schooners, the Coo. Moody
pilot boat No. One, owned by the
state and manned by the Oregon bar
pilots, seven in number, as follows:
Thos. Doig, J. E. Campbell, Geo. w.
Wood, III. A. Matthews, L. j. Powers,
Cyrus Hartman and L. Z. Neil.
The pilot schooner G. q. White,
pilot boat No. Two, owned and
manned by the Washington territory
bar pilots, seven in number, as fol-
lows: ID. J. McVicar, Chas. GuDder-
son, Jos. Hartman, NJ. ID. Staples,
Chas. johnson, Loring Staples, A.
Malcolm.
Thos. Latham, connected with the
Gen. Miles, also has branch. With
that exception, these two pilot
schooners carry all the bar pilots,
they depending entirely upon their
own efforts and beng in every way
separate from the tugs.
The towage system is also msteri-
ally altered. Up to October, 1882,
Capt. Geo. Flavel and his partner,
Capt. A. M. Simpson, OF San Francis
co, owned and operated the tug SER
vice on the bar. At the date men-
toned, the Portland Tugboat Co.
bought the Pioneer In Philadelphia
and put her into service, she costing
S54, 900 at the dock in this city. At
their first meeting six months after
wards, the stockholders found that
they had lost so far $4,000. Ar
rangements were then made with
Capt. Flsvel and issues were pooled
till last spring, when a couple Of
months losses made the Portland
company sell the Pioneer to Puget
Sound parties for $4,000
J. n. Knowles, OF San Francisco,
and Goodall, Perkins e Co, of San
Francisco sent mp the DOndld, the
Wizard and the Escort, and for
awhile all hands lost money.
Recently a new arrangement was
made, Capt. Flavel selling his inter
est to Capt Simpson, and now the
tugboats on the Columbia river bar,
formerly owned by the parties who
have been mentioned, are owned sole
ly in San Francisco, to which place
the resultant profits will go. Capt.
Flavel goes to San Francisco to-day
to complete the transfer.
The WizGrd is laid up, the astoria
is in San Francisco reftting and will
not be in service for a month yet.
The Donald is now the only tug boat
on the bar, aud this winter she and
the astoria will do the bar towing,
with the probable addition of the
Escort later on.
The Donald is owned by j. n.
Knowles & Co., the Wizard by Good
all, Perkins & Co., the astoria by A..
NJ. Simpson, all of San Francisco.
The tugs have issued no schedule
of prices for the season beginning
last Thursday.
The pilotage rates are the same
with both the Oregon and Washing
ton piiots,-S8 a foot up to twelve
feet draught; over that, $40 foot.

In Brief, And To the Point.

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is a foe
to good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is
one of the most complicated and won-
derful things in existence. II is easily
put out of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy
food, bad cookery, mental worry, late
hours, irregular habits, and many
other things which ought not to be,
have made the American people a
nation OF dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has
done q wonderful work in reforming
this sad business and making the
American people so healthy that they
can enjoy their meals and be happy.
Remembsr:-No happiness withou,
health. But Green's August Flower
brings health. and happiness to the
dyspeptic. Ask your druggist for @
bottle. Seventy-fve cents.

but the deck hands were not, and the

Street Work.

A force of men are busy on the cor
ner of Washington and Concomly
streets putting earth on to correspond
to the grade, the street in that vicin-
ity being raised to correspond 3.3
feet. Eastward, at the Polk street
crossing, it will be raised 81 feet.
Farther west, to the front OF the
Chicago house, a portion of the bent
work and planking has been placed,
and it looms up above the surround
ing landscape like a platform at an
out-ot-doors political meeting. The
calculation is to raise the entire line
of the street westward, but it will
hardly be done this season.
